I've also considered something along that line, but:

 (1) I think this 'confusion' is only because you are futzing
     with a project that deals with git-fetch and friends and
     not a general problem.

 (2) With "HEAD is now at xxxxx..."  prefix, even two characters
     are precious to fit the title of the commit on a single
     line.

With these in mind, do you still want to do this?
